WASHINGTON – A Howard University student has been missing for almost a week, and a family friend says all of her online social interactions seem to have stopped.

Arianna Carr, 17, left her home in Oakland, Calif. on a return flight to Washington, D.C. on Jan. 7, and was last seen on the Howard campus on Jan. 10, and her family has not been able to contact her.

“Her Facebook page, her Twitter page, her email — she has not been on any of these,” says Erin Horne Montgomery, a family friend from their church back in California.

She says Carr left her phone charger in California, and the cell phone has been off since last week.

Carr’s mother is coming to D.C. to be closer to the search. Her church is helping her raise money for her flight.
